When you are sending messages between queue managers or between clients and queue managers, most of the time there is a need to provide Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) in your environment. This type of security has keys that encrypt and decrypt the messages to ensure its integrity as it moves within the network.
